Relative weight . — The average weight of all salmon taken at Black Diamond 
cannery from August 20 to September 10, 1900, varied daily from 21.3 pounds to 
23.8 pounds. As the largest specimens taken were invariably males, it is probable 
that the average weight of the males was greater than that of the females. The 
reverse was true in the upper river, as will be seen from the following statement 
of weights of salmon taken by Mr. Sergison at Jelly Ferry:
